    There's a couple of them out there, seriously annoying, but I guess that's the aim, to get people talking, no such thing as bad publicity and all that ****e....

    As someone said in the (Adverts that you despise thread) it's a good ad for contraception.

    I'd seen the advert in question mentioned elsewhere and thought "aye, usual exaggerated reaction on social media". Looked it up on YouTube just now -





    The hell were they thinking? It's jarring right from the time it starts!! :pac:

    Little kid hysterically excited at highly anticipated new toy squeals loudly in delight.

    I think I'll get over it.

    As long as it's just on YouTube now, and that child is not allowed anywhere near an airplane (there is a thread on kids on airplanes...) I'ts fine.

    They all seem to scream now anyway because no one will tell them to shut the F up anymore.

    Try listening to it when you can hear the telly from another room.
    Unnerving, frightening.

    I've been through many a xmas morning and birthdays with my two and if they screamed hysterically like that I'd be very very worried.

    Any kind of toddler is frightening and unnerving. :pac:

    Haven't seen the ad though - Sky+ was invented for this reason.

    That is not excitement. That is a demonic possession.
    Call the priest, there is an exorcism to be performed.

    It's horrible. I agree it doesn't sound like excitement at all and is indeed unnerving and very unpleasant to listen to.

    I was just saying the same but I reckon it's their aim. Memorability through causing annoyance.
